It seems like if you blink, you miss another deal between online and content providers. Not wanting to miss the bandwagon, AOL has announced a deal with Time Warner to offer "vintage" shows, such as "Wonder Woman" and "Kung Fu," over the Internet for free. Just like the good old days of TV, when advertising paid the way and we could watch for free (what a concept!).

While "free" is always compelling, I don't know how many people really want to watch TV on their computer monitors (sounds like a good concept, but is one that just never gained traction); wait, what about podcasts!. Plus, while these shows might have been cool on "TV Land" rerun heaven, they just might not be cool enough today.
